Rebecca Oliver ’07 advised members of Alpha Sigma Eta, Oswego’s chapter of Sigma Tau Delta, the English honors club, to “never entertain the thought of failure.” An editor for Seeking Alpha Inc., an online financial news organization, Oliver, who majored in creative writing and minored in journalism, said her Oswego experiences, including work in publicity for Artswego and an internship in New York City for Jane Magazine, prepared her for a career in publishing. She held increasingly responsible positions in copy editing for Forbes Media before her current job. “Right after graduation, I bought a one-way ticket to attend the Summer Publishing Institute at New York University,” she said. “I didn’t give myself the option of failure.” Par of a SUNY Oswego family, Rebecca is the daughter of Joy Wheeler Oliver ’70 and Albert Oliver ’70.
